Getting Started

|
Since this topic is up, Im so new with aircond last year only started to own one. My aircond is LG inverter 1.5hp. I know Daikin/panasonic is the best but that time I have zero knowledge about aircond just bought from surveying and available stock in the shop possibly next room will be different brand.
1) I would like to ask how often should service the aircond? once a year enough? 2) What is the cost should I be expecting for servicing ?

QUOTE(mikeeeee @ Mar 1 2021, 10:06 PM) I just chemical cleaning for my 10 years old ac also. The technician dismantle wall unit to wash filter, coil and fan separately. Also washed the outdoor unit and top up gas. From the need to set 18c , now only need to set 24-25c and it's cooling faster. Only cost me rm160, regretted didn't do this earlier lol what is the HP of ur aircon?

QUOTE(atrashcan @ Mar 1 2021, 10:22 PM) Aircon is maybe 10 years old? Never serviced. Just routine DIY cleaning of the indoor blower, housing and filter with Dettol (I'm a bit ocd and have sinus issues) maybe 3 times a year. That's the only basic "servicing" I know how to DIY. With the MCO now I've got reduced income therefore don't want to spend much on unnecessary service. Any idea on what services I need from the aircon technician? There seems to be many: 1. Chemical service (indoor?) I don't think I need this. 2. Normal service? 3. Gas top up This is the catalogue from the technician: https://sites.google.com/view/nazrancataloque/homedeleted.

For my case which is consumer type service, it will be depending on their roster/availability as it's long apart between services 😂 For business, then it may make sense to have same people do but I have no experience with this ya

Thanks bro for recommending them to me. They are really great. Prices are on the higher side but they are definitely worth it. I'm happy with their service.

when cleaning blower, did you remove the cylinder blower to wash? most time cylinder blower accumulated dirt and not effective. If the air is not cold, mostly need gas. https://youtu.be/czk1TgaY9SM?feature=sharedrefer to part 7 remove cylinder blower

I know it seems counterintuitive, (eg "it's safer to fly commercial than to drive") but my professional opinion is to never break the flared seals of the copper pipes, if all you need is a cleaning and servicing of the air cond system.
True, taking the IDU off the wall and taking the unit apart for cleaning could result in a cleaner unit overall, but you should not do it when balanced against the future possibility of leakage, air or moisture in the system, or loss of gas, ie the unit will be cleaner, but it will work lousier.
